Overheard yesterday:
Chairman: "Both sides of my family are renowned for having good beards."
Hay: "What about the men?"
Apparently people are being tracked by their mobile phones in Taiwan to ensure they are not going out. Not such a bad idea when there's a pandemic around, but a better use of tracking would be to see who people found to have the virus have been near.
The civil liberties groups would obviously have a problem with tracking people, but there are also the civil liberties of the people who don't want to die of a nasty virus to be considered too - a classic case of a clash of civil liberties.
It would be preferable if the facility was independently monitored against abuse by governments, but making it an opt-out choice would not be ideal. For it to be effective in locating and identifying who an infected person came into contact with, everyone would have to be compulsorily tracked under some emergency power.
My knuckles have become red raw from extra, enforced hand washing and use of sanitizing alcohol. If I don't inhale the bloody virus somewhere, it'll enter through my bleeding knuckles. That said, the consensus is that contracting the virus through your skin, even if bleeding, is very low.
Not only buy shares in Co-Op Funerals Ltd, but also Neutrogena (Johnson & Johnson).

The only flaw in your plan is that folk may leave their phone at home.
